- 1:49Speaker 1: to be through Will Levice, the greatest epitome of the

- 3:57Speaker 2: Dude.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Let's start with Aaron Rodger. Okay, trade finally goes through yesterday.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Nominal impact on everything you know, it's been expected. So
- 4:07Speaker 1: whatever Aaron Rodgers' value to the Jets was gonna be
- 4:11Speaker 1: is built into whatever price that's been going around already.
- 4:15Speaker 1: What are your initial thoughts on Aaron Rodgers to the Jets.
- 4:20Speaker 1: Now that it's officially happened, I.
- 4:22Speaker 2: Guess from the fans that I'm really happy for Jets fans.
- 4:25Speaker 2: I don't mean this is probably the best quarterback they've
- 4:28Speaker 2: ever had. I mean this is exciting for Jets fans.
- 4:31Speaker 2: This is their super Bowl, right, they finally got the guy.
- 4:34Speaker 2: It's gonna take them over the hump. But from the
- 4:36Speaker 2: betting perspective, it's nothing. It's a shit number, the team
- 4:40Speaker 2: that's overrated. Maybe next year I'll get some down on
- 4:43Speaker 2: the Jets, or you know, if they start one to three,
- 4:46Speaker 2: I'll take a position on the Jets. But they feel
- 4:49Speaker 2: like Denver last year. It's just it's gonna be all
- 4:51Speaker 2: hype and no subsistence. I feel like Miami's the bet.
- 4:54Speaker 2: I mean you talked about that earlier. Yeah, that's gonna
- 4:56Speaker 2: be the play. You know, the Bills expecting me better
- 5:00Speaker 2: than they were last year, just because I think Josh
- 5:02Speaker 2: Allen will be healthy, you won't to have that arm issue,
- 5:04Speaker 2: and you know he's got a fire under his ass.
- 5:07Speaker 2: That's a motivated man right now. So in that division,
- 5:10Speaker 2: I love it for Jets fans and it's exciting because
- 5:13Speaker 2: you actually have a chance now, where before you really
- 5:16Speaker 2: did it with Zach Wilson or Joe flaccol Right, that
- 5:18Speaker 2: was just yeah, that was fun. They're winning some games
- 5:21Speaker 2: around the year, but me and you never really took
- 5:22Speaker 2: them serious as an actual contender for Super Bowl. Now. Shit,
- 5:27Speaker 2: if they start three to one, shed the rodds will
- 5:29Speaker 2: probably go down to ten to one, nine to one,
- 5:31Speaker 2: I mean, they'll be an all hype teams.
- 5:32Speaker 1: So they're about twelve to one right now at bet
- 5:34Speaker 1: three sixty five.
- 5:35Speaker 2: Yeah, So to me, Jets fans is exciting because usually
- 5:39Speaker 2: you guys just have nothing to look forward to. It's
- 5:41Speaker 2: all hope and gluster and that's over by week two.
- 5:44Speaker 2: This year, it's gonna be a little different. So exciting
- 5:46Speaker 2: for them, but as a better nothing to do here,
- 5:49Speaker 2: no bets to make on this team.
- 5:50Speaker 1: So the other thing I'll note is bet three sixty
- 5:53Speaker 1: five has a boost for Aaron Rodgers to win MVP
- 5:57Speaker 1: from plus sixteen hundred to plus eighteen hundred. I was
- 6:01Speaker 1: reading Bill Barnwell this morning on ESPN dot com. I
- 6:03Speaker 1: love Barnwell, He's super smart, and he had an interesting
- 6:08Speaker 1: take on the Jets because look, The reason why everyone
- 6:11Speaker 1: is so excited about them for next year is because
- 6:15Speaker 1: their defense was so dominant. Right, they got Garrett Wilson,
- 6:18Speaker 1: that's great. They'll get the running back from Tennessee or
- 6:22Speaker 1: from Iowa State who injured his knee, and was Bryce
- 6:25Speaker 1: Hall who was on the path to sort of have
- 6:26Speaker 1: a Rookie of the Year kind of year. So he
- 6:30Speaker 1: does have pieces around him on offense, but it's really
- 6:34Speaker 1: about the defense. And I feel like the market is
- 6:40Speaker 1: so exuberant about the Jets because it's the Jets, because
- 6:46Speaker 1: it's Aaron Rodgers, that it's kind of not taking into
- 6:50Speaker 1: account the fact that there's always regression in these situations.
- 6:57Speaker 1: So let me give you a little stat that I
- 6:59Speaker 1: stole from Barnwell. Last year, the Jets jumped from thirty
- 7:09Speaker 1: second to fifth in defensive DVOA. Teams that make those
- 7:15Speaker 1: kinds of leaps typically drop back the following season. This
- 7:19Speaker 1: is from Barnwell again. Recent example is the Commanders, who
- 7:22Speaker 1: jumped from twenty seventh to third in DVA in twenty twenty,
- 7:26Speaker 1: falling back to twenty seventh the following season. One other
- 7:34Speaker 1: thing to consider, the Jets benefited from playing second and
- 7:39Speaker 1: third Street quarterbacks, And we talk about that all the
- 7:41Speaker 1: time when we're betting on teams during the season. During
- 7:45Speaker 1: their seven and four start, they played five games against
- 7:47Speaker 1: quarterbacks who weren't the team's preferred starter if everybody was
- 7:53Speaker 1: healthy and available. So we're talking about Brett Rippon, Trevor Simeon,
- 7:57Speaker 1: Mitch Trubisky, Jacobe Brissett, Skyler Thompson. So I don't know, man,
- 8:05Speaker 1: can I interest you in a Jets under nine and
- 8:07Speaker 1: a half wins at plus one hundred.
- 8:10Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep waiting because I'm just gonna hope Jet
- 8:12Speaker 2: fans beted up like they did last year. Like last
- 8:14Speaker 2: year they got really lucky, like those couple of coin
- 8:16Speaker 2: flip games. I mean that Browns game really sticks out right.
- 8:19Speaker 2: That game they're down thirteen points with a minute to go,
- 8:22Speaker 2: Joe Flack will pulled out a win. Those are kind
- 8:24Speaker 2: of things that they totally flip over under. So to me,
- 8:27Speaker 2: I don't hate it, chat if you grab it now
- 8:29Speaker 2: nine and a half, I'll just keep waiting hopefully get
- 8:30Speaker 2: a ten. I can't see it dropping below nine and
- 8:32Speaker 2: tell you that much.
- 8:34Speaker 1: So I kind of feel like they've sussed out a
- 8:36Speaker 1: little bit of an opportunity here. Oh so, because everyone
- 8:42Speaker 1: is going to be thinking about the Jets are set.
- 8:45Speaker 1: The Jets last year fourth one of the league's healthiest defenses,
- 8:49Speaker 1: one year after being the fourth most injured defense. Again, like,
- 8:55Speaker 1: there's going to be some regression on the Jets defense.
- 8:58Speaker 1: And also when you go after you've given up the
- 9:01Speaker 1: draft picks that you've given up, there's going to be
- 9:04Speaker 1: some sort of residual impact on the roster and how
- 9:09Speaker 1: you can build depth on defense. So last year we
- 9:13Speaker 1: were anti Jets and we bet the under and it
- 9:15Speaker 1: bit us. I think we're gonna do it again.
- 9:18Speaker 2: I know it's gonna be tough though, where even if
- 9:21Speaker 2: Rogers isn't what he used to be, isn't the MVP level,
- 9:25Speaker 2: he is going to be so much better than anything
- 9:28Speaker 2: they've had in the last ten, ten, twelve years, I
- 9:30Speaker 2: mean not since Sanchez that they had a guy that
- 9:33Speaker 2: you actually can think, Okay, this guy can actually win
- 9:35Speaker 2: a game. So you know, I still think a lot
- 9:39Speaker 2: of last year was Rodgers being hurt and having no weapons.
- 9:42Speaker 2: This team has tons of weapons Jets. So that's my
- 9:45Speaker 2: only hesitation here is just like this guy is stepping
- 9:47Speaker 2: into the same situation Brady stepped into which is a
- 9:51Speaker 2: really really good offensive weapons with a pretty good defense.
- 9:55Speaker 2: Like you know, as much I want to shoot on
- 9:57Speaker 2: the Jets, Sauce is probably on the best winners I've
- 9:59Speaker 2: seen since Revis. I mean, he really is that next level.
- 10:03Speaker 2: You almost not that he almost got it, but he
- 10:07Speaker 2: was at the point where people are talking to him
- 10:08Speaker 2: for Defensive Player of the Year. So pretty special team.
- 10:12Speaker 2: But you're right, Chad, if it gets to ten, how
- 10:14Speaker 2: do I not take that under in that division? It's
- 10:16Speaker 2: just that's too high a number for them.
- 10:18Speaker 1: Listen, if you're listening live on AMP, if you're watching
- 10:22Speaker 1: live on YouTube, do not forget. You can send us
- 10:26Speaker 1: questions in the chat for either either one of those things.
- 10:32Speaker 1: Matt Mitchell, who's also wearing his favorite hootie, paying attention
- 10:36Speaker 1: to all of it. He's a man on a keyboard
- 10:38Speaker 1: sending us notes and slack. He's producing. He's producing as
- 10:41Speaker 1: much as he possibly can right now. So we've been
- 10:45Speaker 1: talking a lot about the draft. Where is your head
- 10:49Speaker 1: right now? How are you feeling? You've been a roller
- 10:52Speaker 1: coaster of emotions the past couple of weeks. As the
- 10:56Speaker 1: Bryce Young chatter has gotten louder, and that's that's against
- 11:01Speaker 1: what you need to happen to a significant degree.
- 11:04Speaker 2: Yeah, it's all no sleep, Like I just have not
- 11:06Speaker 2: slept at all. It's one of those where, I mean,
- 11:09Speaker 2: you've had kids, so when your wife's pregnant, the baby's
- 11:11Speaker 2: doing any minute. I think most men wake up every
- 11:14Speaker 2: hour or two and just either check on their wife,
- 11:15Speaker 2: get up and pace for a little bit, then laid
- 11:17Speaker 2: back down. It's like that never ending feeling of just anxiety,
- 11:20Speaker 2: like you know what's coming and you got you just
- 11:22Speaker 2: know you like you can't really help what's coming. That's
- 11:24Speaker 2: how I feel with the diraft, where it's like I
- 11:26Speaker 2: might sleep an hour here or too. I can't stop
- 11:28Speaker 2: checking my phone, can't stop calling guys, can't stop listening
- 11:32Speaker 2: to rumors. It's it's like a fun week, but it sucks,
- 11:37Speaker 2: Like you know, when you don't sleep and you just
- 11:38Speaker 2: feel gross. That's how I feel right now, Like I
- 11:41Speaker 2: just feel gross, like everything tastes gross. Uh, it's it's
- 11:47Speaker 2: the worst. Humans need sleep, so you start going a
- 11:49Speaker 2: little crazy, and you know when the will Levis stuff
- 11:55Speaker 2: starts happening, because obviously.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, hold on, like we gotta got
- 12:00Speaker 1: touch into that.
- 12:00Speaker 2: So like say, I was good, sound asleep. I had
- 12:03Speaker 2: to get up at whatever. We had a meeting at
- 12:05Speaker 2: five am, Hawaii time, so I was like, all right,
- 12:07Speaker 2: I'll set my alarm clock, get up at whatever it
- 12:09Speaker 2: is four four thirty for our meeting. I literally touched
- 12:14Speaker 2: my pillow. I fell like at ten o'clock and my
- 12:16Speaker 2: eyes were open at midnight to just never any amount
- 12:18Speaker 2: of calls and text So just been up all night.
- 12:21Speaker 2: It's just one of those where when the market moves,
- 12:25Speaker 2: people go crazy. I think you know that being in
- 12:27Speaker 2: the sports media industry, it's just a week of hearsay.
- 12:31Speaker 2: It's never any amount of your say. So it is.
- 12:33Speaker 2: It's a bit much, Chad, but I love it. It's
- 12:35Speaker 2: just a fun week.
- 12:36Speaker 1: All right. Couple things here. Number one, you've got a
- 12:40Speaker 1: strange sense of what it means when your wife is pregnant.
- 12:44Speaker 1: I don't remember doing any of that, but I do
- 12:47Speaker 1: remember being up every hour last night because I ate
- 12:50Speaker 1: too much and drank too much and went to bed
- 12:52Speaker 1: too late. So that's the feeling when I'm mostly am
- 12:57Speaker 1: uncomfortable at night.
- 12:58Speaker 2: Well, Chad, you're a scientologist. You're kids grown in a laboratory,
- 13:01Speaker 2: so you didn't meet your kidn't tell you? Was like,
- 13:02Speaker 2: so that makes sense. I laughed through the pain.
- 13:12Speaker 1: I'm a real person. Let's talk about this Will level
- 13:17Speaker 1: stuff because we have to frame it. And and Luke
- 13:22Speaker 1: swayin Vegas refund who has just been crushing his draft
- 13:27Speaker 1: coverage and sort of the on the on the Action
- 13:31Speaker 1: Network podcast which everyone should be listening to. Uh, and
- 13:34Speaker 1: obviously he did it with Nick Carrisco UH a couple
- 13:39Speaker 1: of weeks ago, but actually was yesterday. He's been tracking
- 13:45Speaker 1: all this. So the Will lets story is at some
- 13:52Speaker 1: point today a someone in Reddit posted that Will Levis
- 13:59Speaker 1: is going number one, that he's been telling people around
- 14:02Speaker 1: him that Charlotte is taking number one, taking them number one.
- 14:06Speaker 1: Shortly thereafter, his odds to go number one moved from
- 14:10Speaker 1: forty to one to seven to one. And remember, over
- 14:14Speaker 1: the past couple weeks he was not even considered to
- 14:17Speaker 1: be like top two on anyone's board, right, so this
- 14:22Speaker 1: post goes viral. The reporting of the odds move causes
- 14:27Speaker 1: the line to drop even further. People look into the
- 14:32Speaker 1: reddit user, it's shown that he is likely a troll.
- 14:37Speaker 1: So the question is right now, Levis odds are currently
- 14:42Speaker 1: anywhere from plus two fifty to plus eight hundred, obviously
- 14:47Speaker 1: a massive gap. But Bryce Young, who has had his
- 14:53Speaker 1: odds go as high as minus three thousand, we've talked
- 14:56Speaker 1: about over the past couple of weeks, are now down
- 14:59Speaker 1: to minus seven hundred. What are we doing here, Simon?
- 15:02Speaker 1: Why would anyone want to bet this market? Explain this
- 15:05Speaker 1: to people.
- 15:07Speaker 2: I've been trying to tell people though, this is this
- 15:09Speaker 2: is the whole point of why we bet. What the
- 15:11Speaker 2: public doesn't thing is going to happen. It's like, no
- 15:14Speaker 2: one really knows they can move the odds all they want.
- 15:17Speaker 2: In the end, they really don't know until the GM
- 15:20Speaker 2: or the owner of Carolina Panthers tell them exactly what
- 15:22Speaker 2: they're doing. They don't know they're letting the money in
- 15:25Speaker 2: the market dictated. So how does the money in the
- 15:27Speaker 2: market dictate these picks? Chat? We've seen it all the time.
- 15:30Speaker 2: If a well known name puts out a mock, it
- 15:32Speaker 2: moves the market, and you know, you can say what
- 15:36Speaker 2: you want about this Reddi kid. Pros have been taking
- 15:39Speaker 2: a position on this Levis guy, Like I've talked to
- 15:41Speaker 2: multiple pros who keep saying this guy's going to Houston.
- 15:44Speaker 2: This guy's going to be a top five pick. This
- 15:46Speaker 2: guy's going to be a top four pick. I don't
- 15:48Speaker 2: see it. I get I've graded the kid. I watch
- 15:51Speaker 2: all his film. Man, it's just a weird time. This
- 15:56Speaker 2: draft is really weird, Chat, and we keep talking about this.
- 15:58Speaker 2: If there is no consensus number one guy, it's gonna
- 16:01Speaker 2: be chaos. And it felts like we kept talking about
- 16:03Speaker 2: the Baker draft, and that's what this draft feels like.
- 16:05Speaker 2: It's like, I mean, Sam Darnold all months, for multiple months,
- 16:11Speaker 2: was talking about being the number one pick. He got
- 16:12Speaker 2: up to a minus one thousand at one point, and
- 16:14Speaker 2: then we talked about that Baker Mayfield news came out,
- 16:17Speaker 2: and then by Thursday morning, Baker Mayfield was a favorite
- 16:19Speaker 2: to go to the Brown. So me and Chat I
- 16:22Speaker 2: both have opinions on this draft. To me, the Levis
- 16:27Speaker 2: thing is just crazy, Like I mean, Matt Mitchell's losing
- 16:30Speaker 2: his mind about it. He doesn't get it at all.
- 16:33Speaker 2: He was talking about him being a bum months ago,
- 16:35Speaker 2: so it cracks me up thinking about what he's thinking.
- 16:37Speaker 2: But from the betting perspective, I love it because it
- 16:41Speaker 2: just I had my doubts about the Bryce Young thing.
- 16:44Speaker 2: I kept telling you. I even when I was up
- 16:46Speaker 2: to minus twenty five hundred, I was like, I guess
- 16:48Speaker 2: he's the pick, but I don't believe it until I
- 16:50Speaker 2: hear his name called and see it actually happen. I
- 16:52Speaker 2: just can't believe a guy who's five ten one eight
- 16:56Speaker 2: is going to be a number one pick. So I
- 16:58Speaker 2: talked to a bunch of pros over the night. They're
- 17:00Speaker 2: happy about it. They love the public movie this number.
- 17:02Speaker 2: So the way they we all talked about it goes
- 17:05Speaker 2: okay on Reddit. There's millions of people on Reddit. They're
- 17:08Speaker 2: gonna see this post, right, So say just twenty thousand
- 17:11Speaker 2: of these people each bet one hundred dollars, Right, that's
- 17:13Speaker 2: how much you're limited to on this Levis bet. That's
- 17:16Speaker 2: a lot of money being portant to the market at
- 17:19Speaker 2: really weird hours. Right. You said it got posted either
- 17:21Speaker 2: in the morning or last night, whenever it was. The
- 17:24Speaker 2: book makers. They're gonna wake up. The big time guys
- 17:26Speaker 2: are gonna be like, okay, we need to move this number.
- 17:28Speaker 2: So we saw a big overreaction. The market is starting
- 17:30Speaker 2: to settle a little bit, right, like you talked about.
- 17:32Speaker 2: So to me, the Levis thing gives me hope in
- 17:36Speaker 2: the sense it won't be I need anyone with Bryce Young.
- 17:37Speaker 2: You've been in one pick. Literally anybody but Bryce Young
- 17:40Speaker 2: will be amazing for me. I will I need desperately
- 17:43Speaker 2: to If it's well Levis, I'd be amazing. But I'd
- 17:46Speaker 2: be pulling my hair out if I was a Carolina
- 17:48Speaker 2: Panthers fan. I mean, I'm sure you as a as
- 17:50Speaker 2: a Bears fan, you lose your mind too if you're
- 17:51Speaker 2: a drafting this kid. So yeah, chat, this is as
- 17:56Speaker 2: someone that loves betting the draft. This is as as
- 17:58Speaker 2: it gets. It's nobody knows any people are gonna do
- 18:01Speaker 2: all their little mocks. They're gonna make all their predictions.
- 18:03Speaker 2: No one knows. It's all based off of their own information.
- 18:06Speaker 2: They're hearing from different people. So that's why it's the best.
- 18:08Speaker 1: We spend our entire existence as people in the betting space.
- 18:15Speaker 1: You at the very high end, me, you know, just
- 18:18Speaker 1: below you at the at the next level, a very
- 18:21Speaker 1: high end. I don't know why you're laughing. And all
- 18:26Speaker 1: of our time is spent looking for an edge. Our
- 18:29Speaker 1: entire lives, everything we do, it's spent looking for some
- 18:35Speaker 1: edge in some way. That's how you win. That's how
- 18:38Speaker 1: you get by right. And so you've talked about this.
- 18:44Speaker 1: Luke has talked about this, framing it as it's the
- 18:47Speaker 1: only test where you know the answers. We don't know
- 18:50Speaker 1: any fucking answers. This feels like misery to me. Why
- 18:54Speaker 1: is this a Why is this something you want to
- 18:57Speaker 1: invest six figures in when it feels like there is
- 19:01Speaker 1: so much unpredictability you can't find any edge.
- 19:05Speaker 2: Because when I hit, I hit big. And that's what's
- 19:07Speaker 2: so much fun about I mean, we tall all the time,
- 19:09Speaker 2: but that Trey Lance that was that's gonna be one
- 19:12Speaker 2: of my biggest ones ever and like it's funny thing
- 19:14Speaker 2: back that I'll ever forget. You wanted me to do
- 19:16Speaker 2: a live hit with you about Trey Lance being the
- 19:18Speaker 2: third pick, And I was driving down to AC and
- 19:21Speaker 2: I pulled over and say it was just I don't know,
- 19:23Speaker 2: say it was thirty minutes. I mean, you're setting up
- 19:25Speaker 2: doing a little quick hit. And then I got down there,
- 19:27Speaker 2: the number moved from plus six hundred to plus three hundred,
- 19:30Speaker 2: and so this was even before we even posted anything.
- 19:33Speaker 2: And then once we posted, it dropped all way down
- 19:35Speaker 2: to I think whatever, plus one hundred by the time
- 19:37Speaker 2: the draft even came around. So it's one of those
- 19:39Speaker 2: where there is good info Like that's why I try
- 19:44Speaker 2: to be very patient about it, because good info does
- 19:46Speaker 2: eventually come out, But some years you're not gonna get
- 19:49Speaker 2: the right stuff because you don't know the right people
- 19:51Speaker 2: that know the right gms, don't know the right owners.
- 19:53Speaker 2: Like that's why this year, I mean, it's truly I
- 19:57Speaker 2: had tip to the Panthers. They've been really smart about
- 20:00Speaker 2: everything they've done. Like every week they're saying the right
- 20:03Speaker 2: things to try to not just throw people off the scent.
- 20:06Speaker 2: But they knew what we talked about Bryce Young Houston.
- 20:09Speaker 2: The Texans won in Bryce Young, so they talked all
- 20:12Speaker 2: week about how great he was without ever saying, no,
- 20:15Speaker 2: he's gonna be our pick. You know, people are like, well,
- 20:17Speaker 2: the NFL doesn't want them to leak that stuff. I
- 20:19Speaker 2: think we knew Turl Larrence and I'm gonna pick chat
- 20:21Speaker 2: what like two months before he was actually the numer
- 20:23Speaker 2: one pick by the Jaguars. The NFL doesn't really care
- 20:26Speaker 2: that much. Right, people are going to tune in. It's
- 20:28Speaker 2: a spectacle. It's it is what it is. So to me,
- 20:32Speaker 2: it's it's interesting that nothing has been leaked, because stuff
- 20:35Speaker 2: gets leaked this week. But if Will Levis is really
- 20:37Speaker 2: the leak, I mean some pros you can say you want,
- 20:40Speaker 2: the public got on that, but someone was on it
- 20:43Speaker 2: because that numbers moved a lot, like you just talked about,
- 20:47Speaker 2: it went from sixty to one just twelve hours ago
- 20:50Speaker 2: to what it's down to now, which is like plus
- 20:52Speaker 2: two fifty at some books. So I think that's why
- 20:58Speaker 2: I love betting. It is because of that, where it's like,
- 21:02Speaker 2: if you get the right info and if you hit
- 21:04Speaker 2: it right, you can make a ton of money on
- 21:05Speaker 2: the draft. It really is like a thief to these
- 21:08Speaker 2: books because there's no system they can build to stop it.
- 21:11Speaker 2: They're just going off rumors and what they're hearing. So
- 21:14Speaker 2: it is one of my favorite things to bet, but
- 21:16Speaker 2: it's also, like you just said, it's very dangerous. You
- 21:18Speaker 2: can lose a lot of money on it if you're
- 21:19Speaker 2: listening to the wrong people.
- 21:21Speaker 1: Will Levis right now bet three sixty five plus five hundred,
- 21:27Speaker 1: Bryce Young minus nine hundred. Again, a week ago, Bryce
- 21:31Speaker 1: Young was probably minus three thousand. Will Levis was nowhere
- 21:35Speaker 1: close to plus five hundred. He was closer. He was
- 21:40Speaker 1: lower than Will Anderson I think at that time, and
- 21:45Speaker 1: Will Anderson now is like two hundred to one. I
- 21:48Speaker 1: know now to go number one. And Evan Abrams, our
- 21:53Speaker 1: director of research, has said this, if you've got four quarterbacks,
- 21:57Speaker 1: you've got no quarterbacks. And I think that's what is
- 22:00Speaker 1: making this draft so interesting.
- 22:03Speaker 2: Yeah, so.
- 22:06Speaker 1: The next question becomes, we are forty eight, you know,
- 22:11Speaker 1: fifty hours from fifty four hours from the draft. Let's
- 22:14Speaker 1: say we don't really know who's gonna go where what
- 22:20Speaker 1: bets are making us the most comfortable right now? I've
- 22:22Speaker 1: got ideas, but but like when you look at this,
- 22:26Speaker 1: where are you feeling? Okay? This is the one where
- 22:30Speaker 1: I do think I know what's going to happen.
- 22:34Speaker 2: I'm on the few that I've just stuck to that.
- 22:36Speaker 2: I do think the quarterbacks will be the ones to
- 22:38Speaker 2: go up top. Like I know that Will Anderson to
- 22:40Speaker 2: you know, they're suposed to Arizona and all these rumors
- 22:43Speaker 2: boy him going to the Cardinals at pick three. I've
- 22:45Speaker 2: been saying it feels like for two months the Cardinals
- 22:48Speaker 2: aren't going to make that pick unless their GM is
- 22:49Speaker 2: a total idiot. There is no way they should be
- 22:52Speaker 2: making that pick. Of number three. They have to trade down.
- 22:54Speaker 2: They just they need so many more assets, and they're
- 22:57Speaker 2: in a division where, yeah, the forty nine ers are
- 23:00Speaker 2: really good, the Seahawks are really good, but you need
- 23:03Speaker 2: to start building around caller Murray're giving the guy all
- 23:06Speaker 2: this money. You just can't make a pick there. I mean,
- 23:09Speaker 2: there's no one player fixed to this team. So to me,
- 23:14Speaker 2: I still think there'll be one ghost quarterback, two goes quarterback,
- 23:17Speaker 2: three ghost quarterback, and four ghost quarterback. And it just
- 23:19Speaker 2: lines up where I either think it's gonna be Tennessee
- 23:21Speaker 2: or Vegas that trades into that little three spot and
- 23:23Speaker 2: makes the pick there. It just makes sense these teams
- 23:26Speaker 2: that want a quarterback of the future, that's a nice
- 23:29Speaker 2: spot to move into. Both of them have a quarterback
- 23:31Speaker 2: Tennessee as Tannehill, Vegas still as Jimmy Garoppolo. So those
- 23:36Speaker 2: are both teams where you can draft the guy and
- 23:37Speaker 2: let him sit for a year or so. Will Anderson
- 23:41Speaker 2: over three and a half, I couldn't bet enough on that,
- 23:45Speaker 2: I really couldn't. I mean it was one of those
- 23:46Speaker 2: bets Ip making over the weekend, and we've seen it
- 23:50Speaker 2: now that if they do stay there, if the Cardinals
- 23:54Speaker 2: do stay there. It seems like they're gonna take this
- 23:57Speaker 2: offensive tackle from Ohio State. So to me, you know,
- 24:03Speaker 2: it's one of those where I'm making this bet off
- 24:06Speaker 2: a lot of knocks, But then it's also based off
- 24:09Speaker 2: of what teams are saying, and it seems like a
- 24:12Speaker 2: lot of the scouts, especially the ones in Arizona, they
- 24:15Speaker 2: didn't they weren't all in on will Anderson. It seemed
- 24:17Speaker 2: like there was other guys in the mix. So you
- 24:20Speaker 2: can still get his over, but it might be juiced
- 24:21Speaker 2: up down over minus two hundred and minus two fifty
- 24:24Speaker 2: just because people have been betting it. But I still
- 24:26Speaker 2: like that at over three and a half. I just
- 24:29Speaker 2: I don't see Arizona taking them. I don't see Tech
- 24:31Speaker 2: the Texans taking them either. I just people keep saying
- 24:34Speaker 2: that Texas will take a quarterback at twelve. I don't
- 24:36Speaker 2: see any of these guys making it at the top ten.
- 24:38Speaker 2: It's just it just seems like every team at different
- 24:41Speaker 2: grades on these quarterbacks, and each team is gonna be
- 24:43Speaker 2: willing to trade up to get one of these guys.
- 24:46Speaker 1: This could go down as the greatest draft in history
- 24:56Speaker 1: or the biggest bust draft in history. I don't think
- 24:59Speaker 1: they're the middle ground for this draft, because if you're
- 25:02Speaker 1: saying people are not sold on Will Anderson, they're not
- 25:06Speaker 1: sold on Bryce Young, they're not sold on Will Levis,
- 25:10Speaker 1: They're not sold on Anthony Richardson. Like there's no surefire consensus,
- 25:20Speaker 1: which the last couple of years we have felt like
- 25:23Speaker 1: we've had some surefires, right Like Sauce Gardner came in
- 25:27Speaker 1: and people thought sauce Gardner would immediately be what he was.
- 25:31Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence got drafted, people thought he would turn into
- 25:34Speaker 1: what he turned into this year. It only took longer
- 25:37Speaker 1: because he had such an epic imbecile as a coach
- 25:42Speaker 1: in his rookie year and was surrounded by so much incompetence.
- 25:45Speaker 1: So there's no surefire in this draft unless unless unless
- 25:54Speaker 1: it's Jalen Carter.
- 25:57Speaker 2: Well, again, he's got a lot of question marks too,
- 25:59Speaker 2: But I think Chad, it's honestly, I'm just I'm one
- 26:02Speaker 2: of those people where I try to keep it as
- 26:05Speaker 2: real as I can because everyone's in the mindset of
- 26:09Speaker 2: this is like we talk about this is like before
- 26:11Speaker 2: week one, where your team doesn't suck yet it's all happiness,
- 26:14Speaker 2: It's all hype, and that's what this draft is like.
- 26:17Speaker 2: Everyone's like, oh, well, my team's drafted this guy. There's
- 26:19Speaker 2: no way he's gonna be a bus and that's just
- 26:21Speaker 2: not the truth. And when we talk all the time
- 26:23Speaker 2: first round quarterbacks, I think it's over sixty percent now
- 26:27Speaker 2: end up being nothing's right, it's a very small number.
- 26:30Speaker 2: So you know that draft of Mac Jones, Trey Lance,
- 26:39Speaker 2: Zach Wilson, Trevor Lawrence. I said it on this show,
- 26:43Speaker 2: if you're lucky, there'll be one All Pro out of
- 26:45Speaker 2: this draft and maybe two Pro Bowlers. So right now,
- 26:51Speaker 2: what it's looking like, Chad, you're feeling pretty good. You
- 26:53Speaker 2: got justin Fields. He looks like he's gonna be a
- 26:55Speaker 2: Pro bowler. Trevor Lawrence looks like he's gonna be a
- 26:57Speaker 2: Pro bowler. Zach Wilson's on his way out of the league.
- 27:00Speaker 2: I mean he's already been replaced. Trey Lances apparently on
- 27:03Speaker 2: the trading block. So I mean Mac Jones as well,
- 27:06Speaker 2: could be out of town. Like it's one of those
- 27:08Speaker 2: where it's getting weird now with the Patriots. So I
- 27:12Speaker 2: hate being that guy because I know exciting all this
- 27:14Speaker 2: is for teams, but it's just realistic. So that's why
- 27:17Speaker 2: the Anthony Richardson I've been pounding the table for him
- 27:19Speaker 2: for so long. It's just he has the most upside
- 27:21Speaker 2: if he goes to the right team. The kid's twenty.
- 27:24Speaker 2: He turns twenty one and may twenty second, so you
- 27:27Speaker 2: put him on the right team. This kid, when he
- 27:29Speaker 2: signs his new contract in five years, he'll be twenty
- 27:32Speaker 2: six heading into his prime. There's other guys on this list.
- 27:35Speaker 2: This Will Levis will be twenty nine when he signs
- 27:39Speaker 2: his next contract. So that's something that I weigh into
- 27:42Speaker 2: all this where it's like, Okay, I want to take
- 27:46Speaker 2: the young athlete with a ton of upside that I
- 27:48Speaker 2: can mold into why I want him to be, rather
- 27:50Speaker 2: than the guy that's already is what he is, Like
- 27:51Speaker 2: Bryce Young. Yes, this kid has an incredible amount of talent.
- 27:55Speaker 2: I think he is what he is. I just can't
- 27:57Speaker 2: see him building that much off off of it. Like
- 27:59Speaker 2: his body, he doesn't have the shoulders for it, Like
- 28:02Speaker 2: there's not much of a body frame to build on,
- 28:04Speaker 2: and there's only so much you can build on with
- 28:06Speaker 2: his body, Like he's five ten one e. How much
- 28:09Speaker 2: arm trains do you think you can put into this
- 28:10Speaker 2: kid's body. It's just not possible. So a lot of
- 28:14Speaker 2: that goes into when I when I build out and
- 28:16Speaker 2: model these quarterbacks. And that's why I like I like Anderson.
- 28:21Speaker 2: I think Anderson's a really good player. But I would
- 28:23Speaker 2: like you just talked about Carter. I know Carter's issues
- 28:25Speaker 2: off the field, I would still take the kick because
- 28:27Speaker 2: I just think his his floor is so low. Like
- 28:29Speaker 2: this guy, you draft him, you're just gonna make him
- 28:32Speaker 2: your nose tackle or whatever, your detackle, and he's just
- 28:35Speaker 2: gonna change the whole the whole vibe of your whole
- 28:38Speaker 2: team will be changed with this guy and that defensive
- 28:41Speaker 2: line because he's gonna eat up two linemen every time.
- 28:43Speaker 2: Like that's a big deal. So it's just the way
- 28:46Speaker 2: it is, Chadwick. At this time of year, you're just
- 28:49Speaker 2: gonna hear so much negatives about guys because of we
- 28:52Speaker 2: talk all the time. It's like, who has the best
- 28:53Speaker 2: agent right now? In my opinion, the best agent is
- 28:56Speaker 2: Well Levis, Like, holy shit, is this guy's age? You
- 28:58Speaker 2: really taking this to another level? I mean, hop on
- 29:01Speaker 2: Twitter today you never will not see this guy's name
- 29:03Speaker 2: and his biggest night of his life is in two days,
- 29:05Speaker 2: so it's just a big, big week for agents and owners.
- 29:09Speaker 2: Tell him lies, all right.
- 29:12Speaker 1: There's also a big conversation happening right now at running
- 29:16Speaker 1: back Jean Bijon, Dijon Robinson and Jamiir Gibbs from Alabama,
- 29:25Speaker 1: and Bijeon has been the guy. We talked about him
- 29:27Speaker 1: a lot last week. Everyone has talked about is potentially
- 29:31Speaker 1: being the best overall player in this draft, but all
- 29:34Speaker 1: of a sudden there's conversation that Gibbs could overtake him
- 29:38Speaker 1: as the first running back taken. So here's my question
- 29:42Speaker 1: for you.
- 29:43Speaker 2: Do you bet?
- 29:45Speaker 1: Do you bet over one and a half total running
- 29:48Speaker 1: backs to be taken in the first round of the draft?
- 29:54Speaker 2: I bet it, I'll be honest. I'm one of those people.
- 29:58Speaker 2: I did just because of Peter King's mock draft, Like
- 30:00Speaker 2: he put it out there and I was like, okay,
- 30:02Speaker 2: this has because I like the kid. But we talked
- 30:04Speaker 2: about time teams just don't take these running backs in
- 30:06Speaker 2: the first round. Now, when you break it down like
- 30:09Speaker 2: he didn't make sense, like the Eagle is Detroit, there's
- 30:12Speaker 2: a bunch of teams I want a running back at
- 30:13Speaker 2: the end of that first round that they don't get
- 30:15Speaker 2: Robinson in the top ten, why not take him in
- 30:18Speaker 2: the back end. The guy can plast block and catch
- 30:20Speaker 2: up on the backfield. I mean, we talk all the
- 30:22Speaker 2: time these bam are running backs. They do eventually break down,
- 30:25Speaker 2: like all running backs too, but for the first five
- 30:27Speaker 2: years they're pretty damn good. I mean, Derek Henry's first
- 30:30Speaker 2: five years were pretty incredible. So the whole notion that
- 30:36Speaker 2: a team would trade back into the first round and
- 30:38Speaker 2: take a running back that seems a bit far stretch.
- 30:41Speaker 2: But there are teams at the back end of this
- 30:42Speaker 2: draft I could say to see taking a running back there.
- 30:45Speaker 2: So I like a chat over one and a half
- 30:47Speaker 2: running backs taking their first round. I think it was
- 30:49Speaker 2: plus one ten Peter King put out as mock. I
- 30:52Speaker 2: think a dropped down on minus one fifteen minus one
- 30:54Speaker 2: twenty in most books. Now, I'd still take that number
- 30:57Speaker 2: at bet three six y five, But it's it's tough
- 31:00Speaker 2: where you know that's just gonna be the public play, right,
- 31:01Speaker 2: the public gloves betting overs. We've seen the QB market
- 31:05Speaker 2: move the over four and a half has just been
- 31:07Speaker 2: absolutely pounded, So same thing with the running back. I
- 31:09Speaker 2: can see it get up to minus one thirty, minus
- 31:11Speaker 2: one forty by the time this draft starts on Thursday.
- 31:13Speaker 2: It's just a lot a lot of people talking about
- 31:16Speaker 2: two running backs in the first round.
- 31:18Speaker 1: Now, all right, so I follow you in the app.
- 31:25Speaker 1: I want you to break down right now the picks
- 31:29Speaker 1: you've posted in the app for the draft, so people
- 31:35Speaker 1: can know exactly what you're betting.
- 31:40Speaker 2: I mean, I can tell you that off the top
- 31:42Speaker 2: of my head. I know for a fact I bet
- 31:44Speaker 2: the z Flowers under we talked last year. I just
- 31:48Speaker 2: love that. Bet the sky is a five nine, five
- 31:51Speaker 2: to ten speed stair that plays on the outside. There's
- 31:54Speaker 2: so many different ways you're gonna be able to use
- 31:56Speaker 2: this kid. So you know, I didn't know where he
- 31:59Speaker 2: was going to go. Now, talking to Evan, it felt
- 32:01Speaker 2: like it made sense that when he said he would
- 32:03Speaker 2: go to the Seahawks A picked twenty, that just makes
- 32:05Speaker 2: sense to me. You can still get it a plus
- 32:07Speaker 2: number two, just because there's just so many teams that
- 32:11Speaker 2: not that this is a bad wide receiver class, but
- 32:13Speaker 2: this is this is a dawn wide receiver class. Like,
- 32:15Speaker 2: let's be honest, this isn't that great of a group.
- 32:17Speaker 2: So it's one of those where it's making sense. Its
- 32:20Speaker 2: plus no, it's plus money. But I think it's one
- 32:23Speaker 2: of those that when he gets drafted, i'd say the
- 32:25Speaker 2: Seahawks do take him where a team does around there,
- 32:28Speaker 2: like you know Green Bay now might be a team
- 32:30Speaker 2: that might take this kid. Like there's a bunch of
- 32:31Speaker 2: different teams that need a wide receiver. It would just
- 32:34Speaker 2: make sense for a team to reach and take this
- 32:35Speaker 2: kid because there's not that many good receivers in this draft.
- 32:38Speaker 2: So that was definitely when I made her away. Robinson
- 32:41Speaker 2: be a top ten pick. Chat, I love it. I
- 32:44Speaker 2: love this pick so much.
- 32:45Speaker 1: He's just do you think it'll be Howie?
- 32:49Speaker 2: I don't know, because I have someone I really really
- 32:51Speaker 2: am well connected with on the Eagles, and I thought
- 32:54Speaker 2: all week it was going to be him, and I
- 32:57Speaker 2: would say two weeks ago, this kid this he honestly
- 33:00Speaker 2: made it seem like it was definitely gonna be Robinson,
- 33:02Speaker 2: Like if he was there, I picked ten for the Eagles.
- 33:04Speaker 2: It was either Ham or Carter was the guy that
- 33:06Speaker 2: really wanted a ten. Carter seems like that's gone. We've
- 33:10Speaker 2: seen his over under drop from seven and a half
- 33:13Speaker 2: down to six and a half after he met with Detroit.
- 33:14Speaker 2: Apparently Campbell absolutely loved him, So that makes sense, right,
- 33:17Speaker 2: that Campbell loves the kid. Detroit would take Carter now.
- 33:21Speaker 2: It wouldn't shocked if the Eagles did take an old alignment,
- 33:23Speaker 2: but it just doesn't make sense for an Eagles team
- 33:25Speaker 2: that's to win now mode. It's just the Robinson pick
- 33:29Speaker 2: makes so much sense for this team. It's literally, you know,
- 33:34Speaker 2: not that this kid's gonna be j Peterson, but that's
- 33:36Speaker 2: the upside you have here, like the Saquon upside. Like
- 33:40Speaker 2: it's just I hate taking running backs as high. But
- 33:43Speaker 2: when you're a team like the Eagles, where you already
- 33:45Speaker 2: have the old line, you have an aging defense, like
- 33:47Speaker 2: our D line is pretty damn old like a lot
- 33:50Speaker 2: of these guys, this is it for them, right, So
- 33:54Speaker 2: you know, I argue with a bunch of people about it.
- 33:55Speaker 2: But the skuy I talked to, he seems like the
- 33:57Speaker 2: Eagles are gonna go D line just because they're line
- 34:00Speaker 2: is getting older. So if you want to make that
- 34:01Speaker 2: a bet, I understand it. But to me, I'm in
- 34:04Speaker 2: on Robinson. Do you think the Eagles are going to
- 34:05Speaker 2: take them? I still think the Seahawks are outside chance
- 34:08Speaker 2: to take them at pick five. We talked about that
- 34:10Speaker 2: sixty six to one to be a top five pick.
- 34:13Speaker 2: I know it sounds crazy people, but the Seahawks think
- 34:15Speaker 2: Gino's legit. They paid them. I've talked to a couple
- 34:18Speaker 2: of different scouts for them, and they love Robinson like
- 34:20Speaker 2: they can't go to how good this kid is. So
- 34:22Speaker 2: they're from a point of view of, well, we'll do
- 34:25Speaker 2: the Hurts move. We'll take a quarterback there. If one
- 34:27Speaker 2: of these guys we like slips the five, they're gonna
- 34:29Speaker 2: take a quarterback to Seahawks. I talked to multiple people
- 34:32Speaker 2: within that organization that like a quarterback of that spot.
- 34:35Speaker 2: If not, they like Robinson, and if Anderson's still there,
- 34:39Speaker 2: they're gonna take them apparently. So the Seahawks are in
- 34:41Speaker 2: a great spot, dude. They're going to trade out right,
- 34:44Speaker 2: get a good bounty on in trade back, or they're
- 34:47Speaker 2: gonna take a really high level player at that pick five.
- 34:49Speaker 2: So the Robinson pick just makes sense. We saw the
- 34:52Speaker 2: the number move too. We did our show. I think
- 34:54Speaker 2: this was plus one twenty five. Now he's minus you
- 34:56Speaker 2: know one twenty minus one thirty be the top ten pick.
- 35:00Speaker 2: It just seems like it's either gonna be those teams
- 35:02Speaker 2: up there, Detroit at picked six to take them, or Atlanta.
- 35:05Speaker 2: We've heard a lot of chatter about Atlanta take them
- 35:07Speaker 2: at pick eight. So again, just a lot of teams
- 35:09Speaker 2: on the board that would take them. The only team
- 35:11Speaker 2: that would shock me would be your Chicago Bears to
- 35:13Speaker 2: that that would shock me if they took them there,
- 35:15Speaker 2: just because you know, you guys have a lot of
- 35:18Speaker 2: a lot of holes. You still need to fill an
- 35:19Speaker 2: offensive line and defensive line. So I could see that's
- 35:21Speaker 2: that's gonna play for the Bears. So that's the one
- 35:23Speaker 2: team I'm pretty sure will not be taking Robinson.
- 35:25Speaker 1: But the other teams, it makes no sense for the
- 35:28Speaker 1: Bears to take a running back. As we've been saying,
- 35:32Speaker 1: the theme in the way rosters are constructed right now
- 35:36Speaker 1: is very much running backs are worth taking in the
- 35:39Speaker 1: first round if you are one running back away from
- 35:44Speaker 1: having a roster that is ready to make a run.
- 35:47Speaker 1: The Bears are not one running back away from making
- 35:51Speaker 1: a run. They are many. No, no, don't give me that, No, no, no.
- 35:55Speaker 2: No, no. I got high hopes.
- 35:59Speaker 1: The Bear don't have anyone in the front seven that
- 36:03Speaker 1: scares anybody.
- 36:04Speaker 2: Say with me though, ding Dong, the Witch is dead,
- 36:06Speaker 2: Rogers is gone, brother, Yeah, but wide open spaces.
- 36:14Speaker 1: For a running back to run all over the field, that.
- 36:18Speaker 2: Would just be fun. To have Robinson with justin fields.
- 36:20Speaker 2: That'd be an insane combination. It would.
- 36:23Speaker 1: I feel like the Bears have built up a lot
- 36:25Speaker 1: of good will during acquisition season with the way they've
- 36:28Speaker 1: managed the cap, the way they've managed their draft assets. Yeah,
- 36:33Speaker 1: to not draft Jalen Carter or to not draft somebody
- 36:37Speaker 1: who can play left tackle would send the fan base
- 36:41Speaker 1: into such a tizzy. People would lose their minds. If
- 36:48Speaker 1: you drafted a running back top ten, they would absolutely
- 36:53Speaker 1: lose their minds. That's what I think about the Bears now.
- 36:57Speaker 2: It's all the staff from Matt Mitchell. It's make me
- 36:59Speaker 2: feel pretty good. Good. Since nineteen two or more running
- 37:02Speaker 2: backs have gone in the first round thirty five out
- 37:05Speaker 2: of forty three drafts. So that's that's pretty pretty insane people.
- 37:09Speaker 2: If you think about betting those odds, feels like it's
- 37:12Speaker 2: it's pretty good bet. The bet two runningbacks going in
- 37:14Speaker 2: the first round.
- 37:15Speaker 1: Current odds for bijon team Atlanta plus two fifty Houston
- 37:21Speaker 1: six p fifty Philly seven fifty, Washington eight point fifty,
- 37:25Speaker 1: New England, Dallas plus twelve hundred, Tennessee, Detroit plus fourteen,
- 37:30Speaker 1: Chicago fifteen to one, Chargers eighteen, Minnesota, Cincinnati, Seattle not
- 37:35Speaker 1: on that list. That's interesting. Here's the question from and
- 37:40Speaker 1: by the way, Jamiir Gibbs, he's currently being mocked. The
- 37:43Speaker 1: average pick is thirty two point three.
- 37:45Speaker 2: So only thirty one picks in the first round? Though,
- 37:48Speaker 2: is Miami last?
- 37:48Speaker 1: I know, it's just outside the first round. That's awesome.
- 37:53Speaker 1: Right now, we've been talking about Will Anderson. Tyree Wilson
- 37:57Speaker 1: has been making a lot of noise moving up. Yeah,
- 38:01Speaker 1: and so the truth is, while we've talked about Will Anderson,
- 38:05Speaker 1: the first defensive player drafted, Tyree Wilson right now minus
- 38:09Speaker 1: one twenty five at bet three six five, Will Anderson
- 38:13Speaker 1: plus one hundred.
- 38:15Speaker 2: Again the shot out to Vegas Refrunt. He was on
- 38:17Speaker 2: this a month ago, was talking about this guy could
- 38:19Speaker 2: move up a draft ward to think he gave him
- 38:21Speaker 2: out in our slack group at nine to one. I
- 38:24Speaker 2: didn't agree with it because I just couldn't see it happening. Now,
- 38:28Speaker 2: everything you hear it seems like Houston loves this guy,
- 38:30Speaker 2: and same with Arizona, so you know I could see
- 38:35Speaker 2: it happen for sure. I just again, I just see
- 38:39Speaker 2: it going quarterback quarterback, and that's where the Seahawks fall
- 38:42Speaker 2: into us. I think they're gonna be their first team
- 38:44Speaker 2: to decide who gets defensive player drafted. That's why I
- 38:48Speaker 2: know it sounds crazy, but still I still have a
- 38:51Speaker 2: little bit of money on Jalen Carter to be the
- 38:53Speaker 2: first defensive player take and just in just in case
- 38:56Speaker 2: the Seahawks don't take a defensive player, there they go
- 38:59Speaker 2: offense that I picked six, Detroit will be the first
- 39:02Speaker 2: team to take a defensive player. I think they just
- 39:04Speaker 2: love Carter. So I've seen a couple of books having
- 39:07Speaker 2: that fifty to one for Carter to be their first
- 39:09Speaker 2: defensive player just because he's just had terrible press this
- 39:13Speaker 2: last couple of weeks. Yeah to me, Chad, it might
- 39:19Speaker 2: be seven teams. Now I have to check my notes again,
- 39:22Speaker 2: but I literally talked to seven different teams that they
- 39:25Speaker 2: have him off their board. So I means they would
- 39:27Speaker 2: even take Carter if he fell out of the first round.
- 39:29Speaker 2: That's how bad they think his personality is, his worth, ethic, everything,
- 39:33Speaker 2: so just something to keep in mind with people that
- 39:36Speaker 2: you know, I might be alling on Carter, there are
- 39:38Speaker 2: a lot of teams that are not. And that's definitely
- 39:41Speaker 2: a scary scary thing. You're talking about teams giving these
- 39:44Speaker 2: guys and millions and millions of dollars in a five
- 39:46Speaker 2: year contract.
- 39:48Speaker 1: It's a lot currently sixteen to one at BET three
- 39:51Speaker 1: six five to be the first defensive player taken is
- 39:56Speaker 1: Jalen Carter? All right, I think it's one thing you
- 40:01Speaker 1: said about Za Flowers. Wouldn't it be funny if the
- 40:04Speaker 1: Packers decided they're taking a wide receiver in the first round.
- 40:09Speaker 1: Didn't Evan go over it with us a couple of
- 40:12Speaker 1: weeks ago where he noted how they have basically spent
- 40:16Speaker 1: every first round draft pick on an offensive lineman, a
- 40:20Speaker 1: defensive lineman, or a linebacker during Aaron Rodgers' career, and
- 40:25Speaker 1: then the second he leaves, they take a wide receiver
- 40:27Speaker 1: to help his bet his replacement.
- 40:30Speaker 2: I know, but I was one of the few people
- 40:32Speaker 2: that I think it's smart. Like I thought what they
- 40:34Speaker 2: did all those years was smart, which was if you
- 40:38Speaker 2: have an all pro, all world QB, you can find
- 40:41Speaker 2: really good receivers in the second third rounds, which is
- 40:43Speaker 2: what they did. Like they found a Jordan Nelson, they
- 40:45Speaker 2: found a DeVante Adams, like they found these guys in
- 40:48Speaker 2: the second third rounds that turned into all pros because
- 40:51Speaker 2: they had Rogers. So I got where people are coming
- 40:54Speaker 2: from that they never supported him, but it's like, holy shit, people,
- 40:58Speaker 2: didn't he go to four NFC Championship games and then
- 41:01Speaker 2: he lost them, three of them at home. I don't know.
- 41:03Speaker 2: I think that. I think that Green Bay did it
- 41:05Speaker 2: pretty well. Again, I'm all in on the Bears, but
- 41:09Speaker 2: the Jordan Love stuff is exciting, like I think all
- 41:12Speaker 2: of us. I mean, it sounds fucked up, but Packer
- 41:15Speaker 2: fans we all want you guys have a shitty quarterback.
- 41:17Speaker 2: You literally went from Bev far to Aaron Rodgers, Like
- 41:21Speaker 2: no one should be so lucky. So if Jordan Love
- 41:24Speaker 2: is the truth, it's gonna hurt. But they got a
- 41:25Speaker 2: decision to make. I think they have a week left
- 41:28Speaker 2: and they have to pick up the fifth year option.
- 41:29Speaker 2: I think it's twenty million dollars for Jordan Love. So
- 41:33Speaker 2: at times they are changing green Bay. I mean, you
- 41:35Speaker 2: look at that team on paper chat. They are bad
- 41:38Speaker 2: at so I would agree for the first time in
- 41:40Speaker 2: a long time. They probably should take a wide receiver
- 41:42Speaker 2: with that first pick in the first round.
- 41:44Speaker 1: The last time Brett Farvar Aaron Rodgers weren't playing quarterback
- 41:50Speaker 1: regularly for the green Bay Packers. I was watching Dan
- 41:57Speaker 1: magic Kowski in my college dorm room.
- 42:02Speaker 2: What is that like? Ninety ninety three?
- 42:04Speaker 1: I think it's ninety one.
- 42:06Speaker 2: Holy shit. Yeah, green Bay has been spoiled.
- 42:10Speaker 1: Honest to god, Damn, that is insane. One more staff
- 42:14Speaker 1: from Crack researcher Evan Abrams before we get out here,
- 42:20Speaker 1: get out of here. We were talking about the New
- 42:22Speaker 1: York Jets season win totals earlier. It's currently at nine
- 42:25Speaker 1: and a half. Sitting at nine and a half, you're
- 42:27Speaker 1: hoping it will go up a little bit. The last
- 42:31Speaker 1: time since twenty twenty so the past twenty three years
- 42:34Speaker 1: that the Jets have had preseason double digit wins since
- 42:39Speaker 1: two thousand, twenty eleven, and that year they finished eight
- 42:44Speaker 1: and eight. I'm starting to like that. Jets under nine
- 42:47Speaker 1: and a half. Last year we bet Jets under I
- 42:50Speaker 1: think six and a half.
- 42:51Speaker 2: Six and a half. Yeah, And Rogers in his career
- 42:54Speaker 2: is a double digit win total. He is three and
- 42:57Speaker 2: five to the under when it's greater than ten. So
- 43:00Speaker 2: that's another stat that benefits off as if it's ten.
- 43:03Speaker 2: Once again, if it's ten, that's just gonna be automatic underslam.
- 43:06Speaker 1: We're finding ear lean reminder. The Favorites Podcast is proudly

- 43:36Speaker 1: Bay hasn't gone running back, wide receiver or tight end
- 43:41Speaker 1: in the first round since did you look at his
- 43:45Speaker 1: slack yet, Simon? Because if not, I will, oh two
- 43:49Speaker 1: thousand and two, twenty one years.
- 43:53Speaker 2: How you about how many championship games they've been to
- 43:55Speaker 2: compared to these other franchises'. I get where people are
- 43:58Speaker 2: coming from, but it clearly works.
- 44:01Speaker 1: Any bet you make right now based on where you
- 44:03Speaker 1: see the market moving before Thursday, I got I got one.
- 44:08Speaker 1: I'm just thinking about.
- 44:10Speaker 2: I can't stop doing what I keep doing. But I
- 44:13Speaker 2: keep betting more money on CJ. Stroud to be a
- 44:15Speaker 2: top three, top two, top one pick, and I keep
- 44:19Speaker 2: betting money and INTHI you, we're just going to be
- 44:20Speaker 2: a top two, top three, top four pick. So I
- 44:23Speaker 2: still it's gonna hurt Chad. I still don't think Bryce
- 44:27Speaker 2: Young's number one pick. I still think it's gonna be
- 44:29Speaker 2: someone else. So uh yeah, well we'll know even more Thursday,
- 44:32Speaker 2: our pregame show before the actual draft. I can't wait
- 44:34Speaker 2: for our Thursday show.
- 44:36Speaker 1: I would bet over four and a half quarterbacks in
- 44:39Speaker 1: the first round right now.
- 44:41Speaker 2: How dare you're going to get to Matt and Mitchell?
- 44:42Speaker 1: Though I don't care about Matt Mitchell.
- 44:46Speaker 2: Yeah, it's probably it's probably the right bet. I can't
- 44:48Speaker 2: fucking do it, man. The hooker thing I keep, I keep,
- 44:53Speaker 2: I keep, and a bunch of pros are on that
- 44:54Speaker 2: bet with you, Chad, A lot of pros. I know
- 44:56Speaker 2: we're on that bet. They've really moved that number. Can't
- 44:59Speaker 2: do it that. You're telling me a kid who just
- 45:02Speaker 2: comeing off a major knee injuries twenty five years old
- 45:04Speaker 2: is going to be a first round pick. I really
- 45:06Speaker 2: can't wrap my head around it.
- 45:08Speaker 1: Five years from now, are we talking about Hendon Hooker?
- 45:13Speaker 1: Are we more likely to be talking about Hendon Hooker
- 45:16Speaker 1: as a great quarterback who has led his team to
- 45:20Speaker 1: three consecutive playoff runs? Or Will Levis?
- 45:25Speaker 2: I would say Will Levis because I just I hate
- 45:27Speaker 2: that guy more. I hate him even more than the Hooker, honestly,
- 45:30Speaker 2: So that's I will not be shocked if he has
- 45:33Speaker 2: a great career, just because I'm so down on him.
